Tags: it all amounts to surrender to God only ...MAAMEKAM SHARNAM VRAJ in last
Even though Saint Ushaji was Herself a divine personality of highest order , She emphasized on study & deep contemplation ( i.e. Manan after Adhyayan ) of scriptures as part of daily life of a Devotee ...8 pm to 9.30 pm diary 8 of Divinity personified - Great Saint Ushaji .
Thus after posting humble bowing to God , His vibhutis alone can longer our healthy life , wisdom & intellect , I have read it many times and conclude that in last , it all amounts to surrender to God only ....maamekam sharanam vraja--
i.e. what Lord Sri Krishna concludes finally in last Chapter to Arjuna in GITAJI :---
Sarvadharmaan parityajya maamekam sharanam vraja;
Aham twaa sarvapaapebhyo mokshayishyaami maa shuchah.
66. Abandoning all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee from all sins; grieve not. ...Chapter XVIII of GITAJI has 80 verses
In other words , we may call it as SHARNAGATI-YOGA. After Lord Sri Krishna's divine dialogue i.e. Gitaji , the devotee ( Arjuna ) surrenders to Him is ultimate aim of any Sadhna or spiritual initiation .
But main plus point here is that Arjuna has faith in Lord Krishna ( even before start of Gitaji ) even though he may not be convinced . Thus at the end in verses 18/62 and 18/ 63 , Lord Krishna gives him option to do whatever he likes or is convinced by now . But after Gita-gyan , Arjuna is now a realised soul so says KARISHAYE VACHNAM TAV -- verse 18/ 73 and that was aim of Lord Sri Krishna !
Swami Ramsukhdasji of sometimes you would be wondering what is a Parikar ? fame says that Gitaji mentions 9 point devotion to Lord Sri Krishna :--
A) God is THE ROOT of all activity , Universe , birth and deaths -- verses 10/3, 7/6, 9/13 and so on...

Asammoodhah sa martyeshu sarvapaapaih pramuchyate.
10/ 3. He who knows Me as unborn and beginningless, as the great Lord of the worlds, he, among mortals, is undeluded; he is liberated from all sins.
COMMENTARY: As the Supreme Being is the cause of all the worlds, He is beginningless. As He is the source of all the gods and the great sages, so there is no source for His own existence. As He is beginningless, He is unborn. He is the great Lord of all the worlds.3 famous quotes from Chapter X of GITAJI (90-92)
